What To Expect
You’ll need to plan ahead to make sure you arrive on time for this exciting cruise if you prefer to drive yourself. Pickup from Waikiki hotels is available, likely the most convenient option as the Wai’anae Small Boat Harbor meeting point is an hour’s drive away without traffic.
Once you arrive at the harbor, prepare for a day filled with fun, beginning with a dolphin encounter in their natural habitat. Don’t dry off too quickly; after playing with the dolphins, you’ll snorkel with sea turtles and other sea life.
Wave goodbye to these native creatures, but not to your day. You’ve still got time to enjoy your lunch, ride a 20-foot long water slide, row a kayak, and test your balance on a stand up paddleboard. This nearly 4-hour adventure ends with a drive back to your hotel.

Be prepared to not see much only because the are wildlife. I wasn't disappointed that we didnt see the sea turtles because I knew there was a chance we wouldn't. But I felt like the staff did as much as they could. The captain did a great job at finding and tracking the dolphins though! The kids favorite part was the waterside! Overall great experience and we would do it again!

Pickup time very confusing is not displayed anywhere obvious. The person in charge of calling you didn't speak good English at all couldn't understand hardly a word and when they called to confirm if we were coming to pickup spot they called at the exact time they wanted us at the spot. Can't Teleport to the spot whej they call and then wouldn't refund . Claimed they sent emails that I never saw. So didn't take use and no refund.

The ad pops up for Honolulu, but the pier is about an hour away. The boat had plenty of room. The greeter was friendly, positive and very informative. The waves did not allow for the first snorkel. We were lucky enough to see 3 different whales and their babies. We also saw spinner dolphins. We saw 3 turtles. The final snorkel stop was calm and we were able to see a couple of turtles and fish. The lunch was very tasty served by the greeter with smiles and very helpful. The Captain’s jokes were not helpful during safety briefing. The main hula dancer was focused on his commentary and dancing. The other young man needs hula practice and to learn to paste on a smile. The lady helping with paddle board and kayak seemed like she would rather not be bothered. Slide needs a little work on stairs. Overall we did not feel it was worth the price. I would say the crew was ok. The greeter exceptional.

We had an amazing day on the dolphin tour. We saw lots of dolphins and witnessed the babies jump in the air
Miranda_C, Jan 2026
This was more than just snorkeling! Swimming with a water slide, paddle boards. Lots of fun! Hula dances, music, fun environment and people! Highly recommend.
Quawn_J, Dec 2025
It was really cute, first hour you search for wildlife, then second you swim and snorkel, they had the slide and also paddle boards etc it was very relaxed and a lot of fun, then finally they did dances and came back to shore. Very intimate as there is small ish group size, everyone was so lovely and the whole thing was a lot of fun
Candice_P, Dec 2025
Loved our experience!! Captain and crew were great. Saw whales, dolphins and turtles as promised. They were very entertaining but informative. Taught us to be respectful to sea life.
Erik_G, Dec 2025
Great tour, great staff! Lots of fun! The staff was friendly, funny and professional. The boat has an inflatable slide off the side, so it's great for all ages.
ALI_M, Dec 2025
The Snorkeling spot had very little fish and the way the tour was explained was we swim and see dolphins and turtles when snorkeling or at least the photos was like that but it was not and it was pretty basic .
Kathryn_C, Dec 2025
We enjoyed the boat ride even though my husband doesn’t have sea legs…hahaha
Captain is very good at her job in driving the boat smoothly!
Mya_P, Oct 2025
Everything was timely and efficient. Everyone was so welcoming and fun! We had a great time, 10/10 would recommend
Kelly_P, Oct 2025
This was a fun excursion in which we saw many Hawaiian spinner dolphins, one sea turtle, one seal. It was a lot more play on the slide and in the ocean than true snorkeling, but a lot of fun nonetheless!
Laura_P, Oct 2025
My daughter and I loved this excursion. The crew was so friendly and accommodating, especially the captain who let the kids sit with her and karaoke. Also, don’t skimp on the photo package! We are so glad we purchased the pictures.
Henry_H, Sep 2025
This experience is a must! The boat crew was incredible, keeping us entertained both during the bus ride and on the boat. We loved the great tidbits Lauren, Syre, Kai, Ben, and crew had to offer. We got to see a pod of spinner dolphins and several turtles surfacing from the coral reefs for air during snorkeling. It was a wonderful addition to our trip, and we could not recommend booking with Dolphins and You more!
Rita_B, Sep 2025
So much fun! Worth the money! We saw a baby dolphin with the other dolphins, sea turtles, and fish. The slide was so fun!
Gwendolyn_D, Sep 2025
So fun and great to do with the family. We brought our 10 and 11 year old, saw many dolphins, and had a lot of fun in the sun!
Response from Host, Sep 2025

Mallory_M, Sep 2025
The crew was very nice and friendly, especially Ingrid and Lauren. Overall we had a nice time, better for people who want a chill experience. Saw lots of fish and 2 sea turtles while snorkeling, and saw pilot whales and spinner dolphins from the boat. The crew takes safety seriously which I appreciate. Got the photo package which had impressive underwater photos of the sea life.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re glad to hear you had a great time and that Ingrid and Lauren made your experience even better. It's awesome that you got to see so much wildlife! We truly appreciate your feedback on safety and the photo package. Mahalo!

Take sea sick meds before going…it makes your experience less painful. My daughter and I didn’t get sick cause we love the ocean but a few of our Asian party got sick. We took the 8am tour and let me just tell you, 100/10 experience ever!! Highly recommend especially we were visiting from Seattle and once were local residents. A little bit of everything for everyone…staff were so attentive, knowledgeable, considerate, helpful & full of aloha spirit!!!
Maria_M, Jul 2025
This was a really fun experience. Our photographer Tyler was took amazing pictures. They sell you the package on the bus, and it is worth it for the in water shots and the stuff on the boat. They will also offer to sell you a $20 sunscreen, not sure if that is worth it or not, I didn't buy it. We were lucky we got to see both dolphins and sea turtles on the day of our trip. Dani was the captain of our boat and she really was "the best captain in the world". That slide is super fun and super fast. 10/10 experience.
Brianna_l, Jul 2025
This was an amazing experience and I would do it again. The crew was very welcoming, had a lot of knowledge about everything. I loved the dancing from the crew. The slide was very fun. We seen a lot of dolphins and that was my dream to see them and be close enough to take a beautiful picture. 10/10 experience
Anita_T, Jul 2025
The tour guide Bennett was excellent, providing all the information we needed. He was also the trip photographer and I’d highly recommend purchasing the photo package. We saw plenty of dolphins, the snorkelling was good and the inflatable slide was good fun. I’d recommend this activity with no hesitation.
Edward_Y, Jul 2025
The boat and crew is very friendly and

Melanie_N, Jul 2025
The crew was amazing. They were so helpful with the children in the group, and my 75 year old mom. This is for any age.
